Notice to the World

(revised 12/08)

Leave our Constitution as is.

( Except for an amendment limiting the terms of all members of the House and Senate, and to

abolish the Electoral College…good luck with that. )

"Beware the military-industrial complex" ~Pres. D. Eisenhower

Our Constitution is written to be about what our government cannot do. It is supremely and importantly NOT about what “we the people”(the authors) cannot do. There have been abuses, testimony to the frivolous disregard and contempt for the directives of our Constitution that can occur. The 18th Amendment (prohibition) is a prime example of the folly possible in the legislative process. (This painful mistake had to be repealed by yet another amendment # 21) Please don’t let the BushCreeps sully our Constitution of these United States of America as they scream out about “activist judges legislating from the bench”, so that they may destroy the protections we have wrapped about us to prevent them from legislating from the PULPIT. Let the electorates in the states and their legislatures deal with these wholly social not governmental issues. We must not allow the Bible to supplant the Constitution. That is another reason that we authors had to write the document. Freedom of religion is also freedom from religion. This is sacrosanct. That’s why we had to escape the Church of England, the yoke of the crown, and assert the Declaration of Independence. That independence forged the path to our Constitution.

If only they can keep us misdirected in pondering the mysteries of life and accepting the delusion of “life after death” or anything else that is non-demonstrable, they can explain away all their errors. This is when “faith” becomes a very bad word: when it obfuscates reality. When it offers an alternative to summoning the courage to accept “I have one life to live”, “faith” diminishes the human requirement of being responsible for one’s own actions. This is the vehicle of misdirection that the Bush administration relies upon to excuse the inexcusable. “The devil made me do it” is no less delusional as a statement than is: “God made me do it”. “Faith” and “people of faith” are wonderful propaganda and vote-garnering devices. (The bandwagon device) They also carry their own taboo and we have to tiptoe around their requirement for Constitutional protections also, lest we be hypocrites. Bush knows this, if only because Rove told him. Let them stack the courts, so they may “legislate from the bench” as they so vehemently object to until it is their idea of your proper thoughts and behavior that will be tolerated. The Thought Police are coming ergo the “pre-emptive” strike (more like hideous aggression) in Iraq. After all…he knew what they were thinking. Egomania, plain & simple. Now unbridled.

Note: The above passage is written not to slam faith or the faithful, (hope being essential to the human condition) but to elucidate how the BushCreeps love to seize upon and exploit words that they assumed have only positive connotations. “Homeland”, “patriot”, etc. are examples of this psycho lingo attempts to subtly propagandize. Try to recognize the scare words (“axis of evil, mass destruction”, etc.) as well as the purr words, so that you may arrive at a more logical and informed interpretation.

Regarding Immigration Into OUR Country:

"The plain fact is that until Ronald Reagan called off enforcement of our labor laws we didn't have an immigration problem. The amnesty of 1986, combined with his attacks on the power of labor unions, turned a migrant population into permanent residents, taking what used to be good union jobs away from American citizens.

Under George Bush the situation has grown dramatically worse as work site enforcement has dropped 95%, and the number of employers prosecuted and fines against them have dropped to almost nothing. THAT'S our problem, friends. There is no fence that can seal our borders as long as there are employers scoffing at the law to hire people who shouldn't be here.

As Thom Hartmann has so perceptively observed recently, what the Reagan amnesty mostly did was let employers off the hook to hire people who were already here. At the same time, lax enforcement of the law has allowed those employers to use the empty threat of turning people in as a bludgeon to keep them from demanding any labor rights. For if there are no raids otherwise, that would be their only fear. This has put our own labor unions in a squeeze by having to compete with others who are being exploited." ~ Reprinted from “The Pen”

An element of luck accompanied our best presidents. Pres. Wm. J. Clinton had it. Ronald Reagan had it bigtime.

George W. Bush never had it, still doesn’t. We need that element of “luck”. Alas, these are rare and elusive phenomena. Where oh where art thou ? It’s not John McCain, maybe not Obama either.

Remember: the words “up to” includes ZERO. Be suspicious every time you hear this deceptive ad jargon and insist that a precise range be stated.

OIL

A national research & development program to develop alternatives to fossil fuels, with as much

vigor and funding as Kennedy's moon shot should have been launched decades ago. There is an ever

more popular argument that various technologies are being withheld from the consumers of the world.

Bring all those technologies to the fore, and reward those who developed them with jobs and corporate

missions to replace any lost in the fossil fuels sectors. (brought forward from later in this doc)

Ø All available industry that build ocean platforms are completely engaged for 6 to 8 years into

the future. Still, the oil barons have bribed your Congress and Senate to ram this contempt for protections

through, while the criminal Bush regime remains in power to allow these unconscionable trespasses.

Oddly enough, because of the physical limitations as stated, there is plenty of time to meet these

concerns as we proceed with caution. The oil barons are not able to begin drilling even if your

elected officials earn their bribes by forcing careless legislation forward right away. Relax.

Why lax enforcement ?

Ø There are plenty of laws on the books now that is designed to stem the flow of illegal immigration.

Why is it not being enforced ? Perhaps so that our social safety net will be overwhelmed. So that

the feds (Bush and maybe subsequent regimes) will not have to repay the raided Social Security

and other funds they have squandered down the rat hole of Iraq. They will blame it then on YOU,

Mr. & Mrs. America. Our failing public schools, hospitals, public transit systems. It will all

be OUR fault ! Hee hee …what a dastardly bunch of creeps that will leave this burnt out shell of a

country to your children. This bunch of criminals, because : THEY WANT IT ALL !

Only time will tell, but so far Pres. Elect Obama appears to be free of the criminal influence and

inept egomania of his predecessor. Nevertheless, he will face incredible pressures as the effort

advances. Many of us are relieved to hear promise of talent graced in intelligence for a change.

We pledge assistance and support so long as our good conscience remains undiminished. After

the insult of the last eight years, skepticism remains in the American psyche. Please understand.

Some hopes:

· Restore the office of Surgeon General in the public health mission.

· Restore solar panels (and other green measures) to White House, etc.

· Prod the legislature to decriminalize marijuana and relax failed

elements in all areas, including the “war on drugs”.

American forces are NOT engaging terrorists or terrorism (Islamic or otherwise) in Iraq. These fanatics are

busy figuring ways to stab us in the back. They have no intention of taking losses against a supremely equipped

military machine that is the U.S. and allied forces. Bush failed to have planners, strategists, translators, do our

proper homework launching a rush to war, perhaps out of fear that Congress and others would come to their senses

and realize the terrible waste that is occurring. The psychological transference with which the no-talent Bush team is

placating the American public is wearing thin. If their minds and hearts cannot recognize and/or admit their deficiencies, they must be turned out.

Given the volatility of the area, some U.S. presence somewhere in the Middle East seems mandatory. If the U.N. could be trusted to take up the mission, that would be the way to go. I’m sure they want nothing to do with it,

and even if they would, US forces might still have to be the primary muscle.

..."If in the midst of this general disruption,

you do not succeed in connecting

the notion of right

with that of private interest, which is

the only immutable point in the human heart, what means

will you have of governing the world

except by fear ?"

--- Alexis de Toqueville

This is exactly how the Bush folk are trying to retain their less-than-elected control of the White House. By FEAR.

Damnit ! First you (Congress et al) let the guy create this “war” then you let him claim that his creation confers upon him some kind of indispensability. What gross disregard for the American people.

Those Senators & Representatives who voted to disregard the U.S. Constitution when they agreed to let George Bush invade a sovereign nation, have enjoined themselves from

advancing to higher office. These individuals include : Hillary R. Clinton, Joseph Biden, John Kerry. Who else ? =All those Republicans and others who failed to find a way to legislate

within the directives of our Constitution as promulgated by We The People of the United States of America. The short list of contenders who seem to have avoided abusing procedure and process include : Al Gore(not a voter in Res.1441), Dennis Kucinich, Russ Feingold, Barack Yo’ Mama…er…I mean Barack Obama and many others who respectfully (or not) declined to let us present the specter of international thuggery upon a world already beset with insurmountable problems.

Post election : Why would a constitutional law professor (Barack Obama) select Joseph R. Biden as VP inasmuch as that Senator chose to do the end run around the constitution when he voted for letting Bush plunder US lives and resources in Iraq? Hopefully we shall see what is afoot here although I doubt it.

Once upon a time, many moons ago, there was a young man who loved baseball. His daddy even bought him a baseball team, which quickly became a financial burden. So the young man taxed all the residents of the home city and built a great baseball stadium, which vastly increased the value of the failing baseball team. Aha ! said the failing owner, who then sold the failing team at the improved value. “What a smart boy am I” The taxpayers ? One guy got two free tickets to a Rangers game. Millions and millions extracted off the backs of the taxpayers by George W. Bush. Then the American taxpayers reward this behavior by allowing the GOP and/or DNC to destroy

free and fair elections and select the perpetrator President. It worked in Texas … now I will do it again ! (The present “tax cut”) The Feds cut taxes -> reduces payments to states -> states cut programs AND reduce funds to counties -> counties raise property taxes etc. Jobs ? What kind of jobs ? Our nation needs a new manufacturing base, a new technical base, and most of all : a new energy base. (Thank you W. for the 1.3 billion for hydrogen fuel cell/non-fossil fuel research...Is it real ? Where are those jobs ? )

Even as corporations are leaving in droves, this grotesque redistribution of wealth looks like an attempt to create an underclass so that domestic corporations will be able to slash wages, keep workers desperate so that corporations will finally be able to compete with those who are paying only fish heads & rice.

WHAT NOW ?

Watch… US forces will establish a most formidable presence at the tanker ports where Iraq squeezes down to its tiny piece of waterfront on the Persian Gulf. Also, a fortified 30,000 + troops supply & command center at Baghdad Airport and 50,000 at the oil fields. After all, Bush said: “Iraqi oil will help pay for it…” Now they gonna get the bill ! About 20,000 will be able to come home. If all goes well…That you Abdul ? …more later.

Later : Now comes the hard part…hmmmmm…how we gonna withdraw into the American camp while tethering the invisible strings and siphons to increase sucking up dat sweet crude ? Pump it down to terminals in Kuwait ? Through Kuwait ? A capital idea old boy ! (Good old boy …that is.)

What the ? Ooops! I forgot about the back door…run it through Jordan and the tip of Israel for transport out of the Mediterranean. Hee hee… very sneaky. No wonder King Huessein was just stroked by the White House and, of course, the buddy buddy Israelies are in our pockets BIGTIME. 160 BILLION dollars. For one tyrant in a hole ?

Uh oh ! What’s this ? Great: an Iraq-Turkey pipeline…Hee hee. Fill ‘er up.

---------------------
"Still, it is true, lamb," said Satan. "Look at you in war--what mutton
you are, and how ridiculous!"

"In war? How?"

"There has never been a just one, never an honorable one--on the part of
the instigator of the war. I can see a million years ahead,
and this rule will never change in so many as half a dozen instances.
The loud little handful--as usual--will shout for the war. The
pulpit will--warily and cautiously--object--at first; the great, big,
dull bulk of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes and try to make out
why there should be a war, and will say, earnestly and indignantly, "It
is unjust and dishonorable, and
there is no necessity for it." Then the handful will shout louder. A few
fair men on the other side will argue and reason against the
war with speech and pen, and at first will have a hearing and be
applauded; but it will not last long; those others will outshout them,
and presently the anti-war audiences will thin out and lose popularity.
Before long you will see this curious thing: the speakers
stoned from the platform, and free speech strangled by hordes of furious
men who in their secret hearts are still at one with those
stoned speakers--as earlier--but do not dare to say so. And now the
whole nation--pulpit and all--will take up the war-cry, and shout
itself hoarse, and mob any honest man who ventures to open his mouth;
and presently such mouths will cease to open. Next the
statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that
is attacked, and every man will be
glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study
them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus
he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank
God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of
grotesque self-deception." ~ Mark Twain

~A brief excerpt from the book, "The Mysterious Stranger; A Romance by
Mark Twain," published in 1910. An e-text of it:
http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/TwaMyst.html

“ The real wars of religion are the wars religions unleash against ordinary citizens within their “spheres of influence”. They are wars of the godly against the largely defenseless. American fundamentalists against pro-choice doctors, Iranian mullahs against their country’s Jewish minority, the Taliban against the people of Afghanistan, Hindu fundamentalists in Bombay against that city’s increasingly fearful Muslims.”

“The victors in that war must not be closed-minded, marching into battle with, as ever,

God on their side. To choose unbelief is to choose mind over dogma, to trust in our humanity instead of all these dangerous divinities.” –

Step Across This Line-Salman Rushdie

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

“Startling to find something close to self-hatred in the lines of a national bard. Yet this perhaps is the only kind of nationalist a writer can be. When the imagination is given sight by passion, it sees darkness as well as light. To feel so ferociously is to feel contempt as well as pride, hatred as well as love. These proud contempts, this hating love, often earn the writer a nation’s wrath. The nation requires anthems, flags. The poet offers discord. Rags.” *

* from an exam of writings of R.S. Thomas in Step Across This Line by Salman Rushdie c 2002.

INSIST ON RETAINING ALL YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS !

Please note this final paragraph Article II, section 1 : The oath of incoming presidents : “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

So, now I stand alone, my fellow Americans having remained silent about a dubiously selected president who has already violated his oath of office, in the company of a Congress that has acted outside their affirmations as well. These departures from our Constitution are totally UNNECCESSARY to our requirement to enhance and increase our efforts at national security. This mandate can be achieved lawfully, within the confines of the Constitution. It only takes a body politic that will not tolerate anything less, which has the talent to provide the paths to Constitutionally sound remedies. Now in this really important circumstance, in a time that makes the previous urgency and vitriol of

this loudly hailed question seem perversely trivial, I must scream it again : WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE ???

Why didn’t Congress just go ahead and declare war on Iraq and leave it to the Commander in Chief to conduct it ?

That is exactly the posture that the Executive is in as a result of Congress action in Res. 1441. Congress did not have to dump on our Constitution in order to honor the Executive. It is as if they are preparing the public by establishing un -Constitutional legislation as a precedent. I implore any and all public advocates to interfere with

this trend and restore the “Constitutional” aspect to the future of our constitutional republic, this United States of America.

Now comes George W. Bush; de facto President of the United States, as his party mechanisms come to propose SJ

Res. 1441 to nullify* provisions of our Constitution Article 1, Sec. 8, paragraph 11 : “…Congress shall have Power

to declare War, grant letters of Marque and Reprisal…” etc. Sen. Byrd has blown the whistle on this affront to

the Forefather’s authored system of checks and balances. The Power to declare War is conspicuously absent

under Article II, which strictly lists powers of the Executive. Why this callous disregard for our guiding documents

by the Bush folks ? Why would the Supreme Court not find such folly un Constitutional ? It would be a violation of their oaths, should Members of Congress abrogate this specifically directed DUTY under the terms of their sworn service.

*Main Entry: nul·li·fy
Pronunciation: 'n&-l&-"fI
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -fied; -fy·ing
Etymology: Late Latin nullificare, from Latin nullus
Date: 1535
1 : to make null; especially : to make legally null and void
2 : to make of no value or consequence
synonyms NULLIFY, NEGATE, ANNUL, ABROGATE, INVALIDATE mean to deprive of effective or continued existence. NULLIFY implies counteracting completely the force, effectiveness, or value of something <a penalty nullified the touchdown>. NEGATE implies the destruction or canceling out of each of two things by the other <the arguments negate each other>. ANNUL suggests making ineffective or nonexistent often by legal or official action <the treaty annuls all previous agreements>. ABROGATE is like ANNUL but more definitely implies a legal or official purposeful act <a law to abrogate trading privileges>. INVALIDATE implies making something powerless or unacceptable by declaration of its logical or moral or legal unsoundness <the court invalidated the statute>.

Any fool with authority can order troops into war, even create a war to do so, but it takes intellect, insight, and a genuine talent to find ways to deliver us from hardship and help us keep the wolves from our doors. This is where the BushCreeps appear so sadly unfit. “Compassionate conservatism” ? LIARS ! Interdict attacks on our Constitution ! Be vigilant against the Bush creep toward totalitarianism.

This site seldom presumes to speak for "most Americans", but this time we

feel supported in venturing this little tidbit :

Q: What do we Americans really want ?

A: We want PEACE and PROSPERITY . Not via world domination, thank you very much.

"Bush at least acknowledged that we know little about Saddam's nuclear capability, but he lied about why. Bush claimed that Iraq barred the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency in 1998. In fact, the inspectors, along with those from the U.N. Special Commission, were withdrawn by their agencies -- not expelled by Iraq -- in December 1998 when it became clear the Clinton administration was going to bomb Iraq (as it did) and the safety of the inspectors couldn't be guaranteed." -Robt Jensen .Univ. of Texas. http://www.commondreams.org/views02/1008-08.htm

Subject: US Jobs?

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA.....

reprinted from e-mail “Debbie Williams”

"There is an amazing strength in the expression of the will of a

whole people; and when it declares itself, even the imagination

of those who would wish to contest it is overawed. The truth of

this fact is well known by parties; and they consequently strive

to make out a majority whenever they can. If they have not the

greater number of voters on their side, they assert that the true

majority abstained from voting; and if they are foiled even there,

they have recourse to those who had no right to vote" - Alexis de

Tocqueville ; "Democracy in America"

However, Tocqueville's observation of over 100 years ago does not make it OK. In fact, it is much worse that well meaning Americans are not being represented, their votes stolen, their wills suppressed. It was thought that we could "get over it" but

the anger is growing, unrest is nagging Joe Sixpack and Jane Doe. Criminal manipulations fomented by Gov. Jeb Bush in Florida must be exposed. Indict Database

Inc.* of Florida, start the ball rolling, and let the counter-coup begin...Let's ROLL !

But wait ! Michael Moore avers that "173,000 registered voters in Florida were permanently wiped off the voter rolls." in his book Stupid White Men. Therefore

someone should attempt to substantiate this statement by interviewing a sample

of these individual voters, say 2000 of them, and determine by interrogatory, examining their past voting history to see if they would have been likely to go

to the polls and to determine if they were valid potential Al Gore votes. If so, all

hell could break loose ! If not, we'll all feel better with George W. Bush.*

*5/25/04 In a recent Washington Journal on C-Span, reporter Greg Palast reported that “Choicepoint” of Florida

was the “company” retained by the Jeb Bush administration to do the hatchet job on the voter roles. I think

Moore reported this “company” operated as “Database” Inc.

The characteristic disregard for process, advise and consent and other, of the Bush regime is most distressing

to a peace loving populous. I'm becoming more apprised of a mindset out here, that holds that we have never,

apriori Bush, known such an overt, pushy, and careless attempt to create, impose, manipulate, behavior and belief.

Some may be poised to assert that this is what government is expected to do. It is a true distortion of purpose if

any government that purports to manage a free people, would pervert itself to determine rigidly what quality of freedom it seeks to impose (as opposed to uphold). This is due to a lack of finesse and respect for a more sophisticated people (politically) by the current administration. A "hands off" policy is the hallmark of a government

that is truly dedicated to nourishing a free society. It is management, not rule.

A "good job" by Bush in this war ? Bolluxderdash ! Where are the "dead or alive" WANTED posters ? You

think Bin Laden is in Pakistan ? Why no reports of ANY effort to arrest this dog on Pakistani TV, in the markets,

Interpol, U.N; private trackers, etc. ? Ask any American citizen : "What is the reward for information leading to

the arrest of Bin Laden ?" Nobody knows...how strange. Just as a PR thing, broadcast it !

Beware the propaganda of the Bush regime: The subtleties abound. Words like "Patriot Act" work

to mold your mind before you investigate. The bottom line remains the same: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE

BUSH TO LOVE AMERICA !

Private School Vouchers Myth vs. Fact:

Promoters of "educational choice" make many assertions about the positive effects of private school vouchers on America's educational system. Are these claims true? What would vouchers really do? Let's examine some of the common myths about vouchers and review the facts. MYTH: Vouchers are a constitutional way to assist parochial and other private schools. FACT: Vouchers result in tax dollars flowing to private sectarian schools. Sectarian schools account for 85 percent of the total private school enrollment in the United States. These schools serve as arms of religious ministries and integrate religious values and doctrine throughout their curriculum, indoctrinating students on controversial subjects such as abortion, creationism and the role of women in society. Church-state provisions in the federal and state constitutions prohibit government from subsidizing sectarian education, either directly or indirectly. As a result, federal and state courts have repeatedly struck down various schemes designed to funnel tax dollars to religious schools. The fact that parents may "choose" the private school is legally irrelevant, because public funds will still be used for religious instruction. Voucher plans have been struck down in Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico and Vermont, even when some laws provided funds for public school choice. -From : BushWatch.com

PUBLIC FINANCING and/or TERM LIMITS NOW !

* Three terms in the House then they have to sit one out

* Two terms in the Senate

This measure will prevail to Constitutional amendment if the incumbents

will vote their constituents will. This one adjustment will do more to

bring about "campaign finance reform" and clean up the legislative

branch than anything ever proposed other than complete public financing.

OP/ED Money is PROPERTY

MONEY IS NOT SPEECH. Throughout history certain occupations have carried

with them the expectation that those engaged in the job need exercise special

care to avoid even the APPEARANCE of selling favors, favorable decisions,

or circumstance. It would seem that this lofty tenet would apply to legis-

lators first as that action may affect so many lives existing under laws,

imposed or provided. The corrupt politician accepting "bribes" or "graft"

has always been an objectionable image in American society. What is the

critical distinction between an agent of a corporation placing monies

in political "conduits" and the driver on the side of the road wishing

to dissuade the state trooper from issuing a citation? Are these exercises

in free speech? Bribery? Both? One distinction is that the corporate

"agent" is not subject to prosecution while the driver may be. Violation

of the "Public Trust" is also not a determining factor in that the corporate

mission would usually result in much greater impact than would the transaction

described in the traffic stop.

"I wish to persuade you to consider my plea" and "I wish to PAY

you to consider my plea", are two entirely different statements. Money

is money and speech is speech. I am suspicious now of those that argue

that money is speech. They probably have the most to lose and I am

thankful that I have a right to say so.

What would happen if every campaigner received a set of monies

and could only expend that much equally? Major ticket items such as TV advertising

could be better utilized if there were some equality on ALL sides. This would

probably increase revenues to TV related industry too, but it would definitely

help fractionalize the voters. This is a GOOD thing because the two-party

monster has to be weaned off the American public, corporate and private, if

the erosion of our freedoms and rights (to govern ourselves) is to abate.

The fix that kept fringe parties out of the debates should nauseate

you. Wont someone seek to protect us from these abusive distortions?

What you can do : vote for ANYONE not Dem or Rep.

PLEASE HEAR THIS: FULL DISCLOSURE will NOT, in itself, end the problem. The

powers we entrust to these people must not be sold, rented, leased, loaned or

otherwise compromised or influenced even IF we know about it. This is why

I see no way of busting-up the money connections without emplacing absolute

strangers in the positions and/or placing severe and arguably questionable

(constitutionally) restraints on campaign and in-office "financing". Because

the former would be a mere temporary inconvenience (money being even more

powerful than our trust) the later would also be necessary. The political

system in this country is too far gone, too beholding to the corporate and

private sources of big money. We are all slaves of these forces. The very

THOUGHT of removing money from politics is beginning to receive accusations

of naiveté. So, get your passports in force. Your vote and your homeland is

being bought and/or sold right out from under you. TERM LIMITS NOW AND/OR TOTAL

LIMITED EQUAL PUBLIC FINANCING.

U.S. HOUSE AND SENATE :

CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM NOW ! HEED THE PLEBISCITE OR VIOLATE YOUR OATH !

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Some of Hillary's shenanigans are now forgotten. I am in contact with

seasoned professionals in the investment and securities professions and they

unanimously assure me that there is no way that regular investing acumen will

allow ANYONE to parlay a $1,000 "investment" into $100,000 over the course of

little more than one year. This is a kick in the groin to the American public

and should be better explained, so I can do the same thing. Then I'll use that

seed $ to open a chain of His & Her Protective Cup Boutiques, and REALLY get rich

since it seems a surety that we will continue to sustain these impacts to our

more sensitive areas through this elitist and abusive "two-party" good old boy (gal)

(some would argue single party) exclusionary corporate lock "system".

imposed by big money will soon begin to mire those elections in recall

litigation such as the unconscionable abuse endured in the Sanchez fiasco

elicited by the madman Dornan. (Droppsy D. Drowers, Eagle Riv. Wisc.)

Technological Advances : The advent of computer stations and secure encryption

makes possible the instant vote of all qualified citizens. It is now

actually possible to give honest, reliable, and verifiable represent-

ation on all national and local issues. Corporate America and the

established power mongers can never allow a "one person-one vote"

concept to take hold for it would be to their peril indeed. (Betty

Wont, Nantucket, Ma.)

YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS

DONT be fooled by the ongoing efforts to make you believe that the differences

in character or philosophy you perceive is attributable to "parties" or "liberals"

or "conservative" viewpoints. It all boils down to that age-old struggle to control

the wealth: money, money, money. That said, please consider that the first and foremost

obligation of any elected official is to enhance the quality of our lives.

Who needs this kind of help? Who is the voter? Are WE the government?

It’s simple to judge these politicians. Look at these indicators :

1.) What is produced by their daily work effort. Are they engaged in "sideline"

activities (self-promotion, book deals, etc.) designed primarily to reward

themselves? Or, do they generally go quietly about the more mundane tasks

of enhancing our quality of life?

2.) Do they appear at work every day ? Or do they often appoint others while

they engage in "exploratory trips" and other "research" or time away from

the most obvious requirements of their office?

3.) Look at their record. Every effort, every vote, in all cases, should re-

flect motivation to enhance quality of life for others. Their record

should mirror the will of constituents even when those constituents may

be "wrong". Is there a conflict here? Does it appear that they may have

served forces other than their constituents will?

4.) Are they enamored of their own countenance? Do they display a demeanor

that suggests that they believe themselves to be a "leader" first and

a messenger of the people second ? Do they seem to be more concerned

with allegiance to their personal agenda and to their friends or party aff-

iliates ? It is not difficult to recognize these public burrs. It is,

sadly, more difficult to remove them. TERM LIMITS NOW !

DAILY BLURB :

04/08/98 Because of the implications raised by the tragedy of flight 800

the entire fleet must be examined. The cause of the explosion may

still not be learned. The volatile environment of an empty fuel

vessel is being studied. The bilges on ships are vented aren't they ? The Clinton

administration should be commended for their continuing efforts but

I wonder if grounding the entire fleet could have been considered.

Makes an entire industry/economy appear dangerously fragile..

4/22/98 We are weary of hearing arguments that compare health hazards

of eating fatty foods with those of tobacco use. These

substances are not comparable. The big difference is that tobacco

use confers a HIGHLY ADDICTIVE substance known as nicotine. Only

when you remove nicotine from tobacco may you compare the substance

with the deleterious effects of other consumables.

5/22/98 Congress entertains a debate about amending the Constitution of

the United States of America, they expend time and energy in order

to make it the law of the land to confuse a symbol with the things

symbolized...the "Flag Amendment". As they prepare to shatter the

sanctity of the first amendment, they dare not touch the second,

(although it provides no protection for an individual to own guns*)

while children murder children in our nation's schools... Instead of

FIXING the problem of deteriorating

public schools, they wish to provide VOUCHERS to channel the kids

into private schools ? What ? Where is my voice ? Where am I living?

No way I should be able to buy handguns at K-Mart and Roses.

As Christopher Hitchens said on C-SPAN "...you

have NO HOPE of "gun control" in America". Hitchens is a BRIT and

he sees it more clearly than WE do !

7/2008 *Finally, the US Supreme Court has determined this IS an individual right.

6/4/98 Why this mad rush to exception for the Bill of Rights? Why

does Congress pretend that there is any need to "amend" this

cosmic document ? Why do we maintain this incredibly expensive

judicial machinery (known as the Supreme Court) and then resist

living within the findings of these learned "experts" ? Why would

lucid members of Congress imply that the Supreme Court seeks to

make society writhe in agony under erroneous, flawed, or otherwise

mistaken and wrongful interpretations of our guiding documents ? The

Supreme Court is supposed to be just that: The SUPREME Court, the

end of the line, no more changing the game or branches of government

engaging in one-upmanship. Shut up and live with it Congress. We

must, why not you ? There is certainly nothing wrong with prayer in

school. Not mandatory, not the whole school reciting a regimented

sing-song, follow the leader, robot mind-control oratory...rather

a personal, private moment of reflection and affirmation of self,

God, Cosmo Kramer, whatever. "Whatever" is the operative word/concept

that the authors of the Constitution aspired to protect. Shut up and

leave that alone.
